    Vista is great upon two conditions: 1) lots of memory 1-2gb 2) turn off security features

    it is the best OS they have made in a long time, but it is new there are going to be driver issues, software issues, etc...

    The D.O.T has banned Vista from thier systems because they are tired of Microsoft releasing new OS with so many bug and issues.
